Patrick H. Moore is a Los Angeles based Investigator, Sentencing Mitigation Specialist, and crime writer. He has been working in this field since 2003 and has worked in virtually all areas including drug trafficking, sex crimes, crimes of violence, and white-collar fraud.
“There’s no feeling quite like walking into a prison to consult with a client knowing that he or she is facing many long years behind bars, unless you can thread the needle and convince a skeptical Federal judge to give your guy or gal a second chance. Criminals are not known for putting a high priority on telling the truth; neither are cops and prosecutors.”
This is no easy task but mastering this job, which combines art, science and intuition, has given Patrick the tools to write realistic crime fiction that depicts the unpredictable and violent world of cops, convicts, prosecutors and defense attorneys.
In February of 2013, Patrick started All Things Crime Blog, a true crime and crime fiction website, which for several years was one of the most popular crime blogs in the United States. What set All Things Crime Blog apart from the competition was the high quality of the writing from its many excellent contributors, and Patrick’s idiosyncratic, personalized approach to writing about crime. This was not merely reporting the alleged facts; this was interpreting the facts and tying them in to our everyday experience as we attempt to survive in an increasingly hostile and terrifying world.
Patrick holds a Master’s degree in English Literature from San Francisco State University where he graduated summa cum laude in 1990. Prior to moving to Los Angeles, he was lead vocalist and played rhythm guitar for Crash Carnival, a San Francisco rock ‘n roll band, and experienced the “naked lunch” of life on the streets for more than a decade.
Patrick's first crime novel, Cicero's Dead, was published by U.S. iNDiE Books in November of 2014.
27 Days, Patrick's first traditionally published thriller, was published on February 6, 2023 by Down & Out Books. It is the first in a three-part series in which veteran Los Angeles Private Investigator Nick Crane battles a group of aristocratic domestic terrorists known as the "principals." 27 Days was recently named a finalist in the General Fiction: Thriller category of the 2023 American Fiction Awards.
The second book in Patrick's three-part series is entitled Rogues and Patriots. It will be published by Down & Out Books on April 22, 2023.
